My Life is Up
A short story on life
My life is up
up in all directions. interrogating every decision, too far down the road to turn around.
can’t forgive myself for being human
My life is up
up in the clouds, the storm is a thousand clapping hands. attacking my windows like an angry mob, wind tugging me like a kite
My life is up
up for sale. discounted at the dollar store, expired on the shelf. a mannequin with the head cut off, naked on display
an outline of my former self
My life is up
up for an academy award. best supporting role in my Lifetime movie. carefully curated life. a montage reel where the fear of winning is worse than that of losing
My life is up
up to me
need to get behind the wheel
instead of drunk in the back seat
grow more selective
gain some perspective
get rid of expectation
make a decision
